Introduction to Programming with SAS/IML Software

This course teaches you how to use the IML procedure via the programming language. You will benefit from this course if you plan to use SAS/IML for matrix manipulations or if you plan to use it to implement statistical, econometric, or operations research methods.

Learn how to

explicitly assign values to a new matrix

create a matrix from a SAS data set and create a data set from a matrix

control which rows and columns are read from (or written to) a data set

use matrix operators and functions in assignment statements

use IML commands to control the programming environment

use subscript operators to summarize and subset matrices

use iterative and conditional processing to control program flow

write, store, and retrieve IML modules.

Who should attendSAS programmers, statisticians, econometricians, engineers, or others who manipulate data using matrix operators and matrix algebra
